From the publisher

The industry standard, full-color guide to practical kitchen and bath design

Kitchen and Bath Design Principles is The National Kitchen and Bath Association's complete guide to uniting function and style in these important rooms. This full-color guide is heavily illustrated, with a revised layout and graphic design that presents information more clearly for visual learners. The updated second edition has been expanded to adhere more closely to the standards of interior design, including new information on unity, proportion, scale, and variety, plus a new glossary to clarify unfamiliar terms. Stylistic themes remain a major component, with emphasis on the architecture, furniture, styles, and fashions of each era, and all technical and aesthetic information is presented in clear, concise language. The companion website features a teacher's guide and image bank that facilitate use in the classroom, providing additional examples of design principles in action.

The National Kitchen and Bath Association established the standard guidelines for safe and effective kitchen and bath design, and this book is the complete guide to incorporating code and aesthetics from the very beginning. Function is just as important as style in these rooms, so Kitchen and Bath Design Principles teaches readers to:

  • Apply the elements and principles of design to real-life situations
  • Discover how best to apply the tools of design in daily business practice
  • Explore the global and cultural influences reflected in popular stylistic themes
  • Translate the aesthetics of an era into a workable theme for a kitchen or bath

To best serve clients, designers must learn to meet all codes, regulations, and expectations with a balance of substance and style. Kitchen and Bath Design Principles is the industry standard reference, from the industry-leading provider of kitchen and bath design education.

The consummate guide to kitchen and bath design, expanded and updated

Kitchen and Bath Design Principles is the industry standard guide to aesthetics and the elements of style for these two important rooms. Newly expanded to include guidance on scale, proportion, unity, and variety, this full-color reference is illustrated throughout with a revised, clear graphic design.

The kitchen and bath are the home's most functional rooms, so designers must be able to meet both code and aesthetic requirements while managing their business ethically and profitably. This second edition will help readers to:

  • Bring the elements and principles of design to life.
  • Apply design tools more efficiently in daily business practices.
  • Create authentic stylistic themes with detailed cultural background.
  • Incorporate the aesthetics of an era into a timeless design.

The National Kitchen and Bath Association established the standard guidelines and specifications, and this useful reference provides answers and advice straight from the source.
